His words detonated like a bomb going off in broad daylight.
The smile vanished from Gwen's face instantly. Her eyes went wide as she stared at Hawk.

A villager finished soaking in the hot springs and walked along the forest path back home.

His limbs went numb. He collapsed as his body dissolved into a pool of blood, leaving only his clothes and mask behind.
Two figures emerged from behind a nearby tree.
